Why is ABL so aggressive in HDR mode?
And the worst part, there is no control to turn it off.
Please consider adding this switch to the next firmware update. Or feel free to share the reason not to add it.

They should also explain why they're closing any topics on the current broken firmware release instead of addressing them. There was another thread created late October 2024, which I also commented on, that was closed without comment. I'll put my comments below again until ASUS addresses these issues because at this point, it's been over a year since they released the broken firmware v29.
I think at this point it's pretty clear that they have no interest in actually addressing this issue or even just pulling the faulty firmware. At least v28 mostly works. It's crazy that they leave a defective firmware up. Thread after thread after thread on this issue. I had some hope in my last thread on this topic: https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/gaming-monitors/keeping-the-threads-on-the-terrible-v29-firmware-for-t... when ASUS FINALLY acknowledged the issue. That was back in May, with radio silence since. Makes me think that it isn't a simple firmware fix and rather an actual problem with the monitor itself. At this point, ASUS should offer refunds for customers who purchased this "Premium" monitor hoping for a great 4K HDR experience as clearly the monitor doesn't deliver as advertised and they have no intention or perhaps even capability of fixing the issue.
